Flew it once myself, must have 1986 or 1987. Some of the same memories: - Not just tiny, but claustrophobic: seemed like it had about 30 or 35 rows, so if you were in the back it was like looking down a long too-narrow tunnel. - The force, and the speed, of takeoff and landing. Ridiculously fast compared to today. Plus: - The view out of the too-small window: it was late morning, but the sky was a dark blue and you could see a couple stars. Also, I thought I could see a slight curve of the earth. As close to space as I'll ever come, I suppose! - Steve Martin and at least four other people I vaguely recognized were on my flight. - They offered (I think for free) transfers to LaGuardia or the World Trade Center by helicopter. I really regret not doing that! - And I remember being underwhelmed by the "Mach 2" speed: other than the flight being only a little over three hours, it didn't "feel" fast in the air at all. I forget how it much cost, but I remember using frequent flier miles to upgrade to Concorde from a paid first class ticket.
